7:04 am
storm. >> reporter: the can commercials featured governor christie and his family and aired while he was running for re-election last year. congressman frank pallone said it was won by a firm that promised to include the governor even though its bid was more expensive. >> i don't think there's a question that this was an effort to promote him. but the problem is it was at the expense of money from taxpayers that could have been used for other sandy purposes. >> reporter: mww, the agency responsible for the ads, told cbs new ss that its proposal was nearly $1.5 million cheaper than the competition, adding the decision to include the governor was arrived at after the contract was awarded, based on timing availability and federal expenditure rules. spokesman for christie defended the ads calling the audit routine. christie's inner circle implicated in the george washington bridge scandal may have also targeted a second democratic mayor last year steven fulop of jersey city.
7:05 am
the day after he was elected, he received a text from christie's long-time political adviser, bill stepien. congratulations. let me know if we can set up any meetings for you in trenton. in june his then chief of staff, bridget ann kelly, contacted fulop. he decided he would not support christie's re-election bid. within hours five meetings were canceled. he tried to reschedule but was ignored. he believes it was payback. governor christie last week denied any ill attempts against fulop. >> there's going to be back and forth. there's going to be meetings canceled and there's going to be public disagreements. but the fact of the matter is we have continued to work with jersey city over the course of time since he has been mayor. >> reporter: here in trenton, the state assembly plans to form a special committee to look into the bridge controversy.
7:06 am
meanwhile, "the new york times" is reporting this morning that friends of brigd gechlt t kelly remains loyal to the governor despite the fact that the governor fired her and called her a liar last week. she is expected to be subpoenaed thursday. charlie, norah? >> elaine thank you. a retired police officer is in custody in florida this morning, accused of killing a moviegoer inside a theater. chad oulson was shot dead in front of his wife monday. he was text messaging his young daughter until an argument started. the shooting happened in wesley chapel north of tampa. the audience became witness to a crime scene. >> reporter: 71-year-old curtis reeves jr. was apprehended by police after he allegedly opened fire inside this pasco county movie theater, killing 43-year-old chad oulson. the incident began moments after the lights dimmed at the 1:20 pm showing of "lone survivor." reeves, a retired tampa police captain became upset that oulson
7:07 am
was texting during previews. charlie cummings was sitting two seats away. >> the guy who was upset with the cell phone got up left. we think he went down looking for theater management. he came back very irritated without theater management. they started arguing again. >> reporter: witnesses reported hearing oulson shout that he had been texting his 3-year-old daughter. >> voices start going up. there seems to be a confrontation. somebody throws popcorn. i'm not sure who threw the popcorn and then bang. >> reporter: oulson's wife nicole, allegedly threw her hand up to shield her husband. the bullet traveled through her hand into his chest. >> male's gasping for air. shot in the chest. >> reporter: as police made their way to the scene, witnesses say reeves quietly sat back down. another moviegoer, off-duty police officer pulled the gun from his hand and subdued him until authorities arrived. >> i don't know what he was thinking at the time. but i can tell you that anybody, you know over a cell phone?
7:08 am
over somebody texting, to take their life it's ridiculous. >> reporter: reeves has been charged with second-degree murder. for "cbs this morning," manuel. approving a spending bill that is needed to keep the government funded. unveiled last night, it reduces automatic spending cuts that kicked in last year providing more money for the military and more programs like obamacare and head start, all federal employees will receive a 1% pay raise. new enrollment figures are raising concerns for president obama's health care program. numbers confirm that not enough healthy, young people are buying insurance. major garret is at the white house. good morning. >> reporter: good morning, charlie and norah. good morning to our viewers in the west. here is a big number. 2.2 million americans have enrolled in obamacare in california, 500,000 by far, the state with the most enrollees in the new health care law. here for the first time are some
7:09 am
of the percentages of those in the various age groups signing up for the new health care law. 24% nationally are between 18 and 34 years of age, 33% between 55 and 64. this is important. outside experts have said for obamacare economics to work you need 40% enrollees in that 18 to 34 category, but the administration insists it has just enough right now to survive economically. and they expect more in the 18 to 34-year-old age bracket to sign up before the march 31st deadline. we don't know how many people have actually paid for their insurance. that's become important because there are some stories of people who believe they have coverage being denied in hospitals and pharmacies. the administration hopes to have better data on that in the coming months. charlie, norah? >> major, thank you. for the first time president obama is publicly responding to criticism from former defense secretary robert gates. in his new memoir gates says the president made the right decisions in the war in
7:10 am
afghanistan, but felt that the commander in chief second guessed his own war policy. on monday the president said he always had faith in the afghan mission. >> what's important is that we got the policy right. but this is hard and it always has been. whenever you have men and women that you are sending into harm's way after having already made enormous investments in another country, then part of your job as commander in chief is to sweat the details. >> the president called gates a good friend and an outstanding public servant. thousands of families in west virginia can finally turn on the tap this morning. state officials are beginning to lift a ban after a massive chemical spill in the oak river. but about a quarter million people in nine counties around charleston are still without clean water. the accident is drawing attention to lax oversight.
7:11 am
cheryl, good morning. >> good morning, charlie. most big-city drinking water supplies rely on water that have industrial facilities or other possible con tamtamination upstream. now officials are considering new regulations. the chemical storage facility proximity to a river so close to a water treatment plant has focused attention on lax regulations in a state that's heavily dependent on the coal and chemical industry. at a news conference monday environmental officials announced they're now conducting an inventory of west virginia's chemical storage facilities. >> we're also at the governor's request, developing some proposals for how we might more properly regulate these facilities in order to minimize the risk of the spill. >> a 2002 state assessment found
7:12 am
the elk river water supply was highly vulnerable to being contaminated by upstream polluters and identified 53 potentially significant contamination sources. under west virginia, inspections are only required for chemical production plants not storage facilities like the one involved in the spill. aaron olson says the federal government is also at fault. >> there was an effort several years ago to try to protect public drinking water supply so we didn't have this vulnerability to huge spills upstream. unfortunately, that died and never saw the light of day. >> but at the heart of that, do you see politics corporate influence? what do you think? >> certainly i think there are politics involved here and there are very powerful interests in the chemical and other industries that would rather not see strong regulatory requirements. >> reforms have been called for and promised before. two workers died in a 2008 explosion at a different west virginia chemical production facility. a congressional investigation
7:13 am
found that plant managers delayed giving rescuers crucial information about the toxic chemical release. olson says there's no way to know exactly how many drinking water plants have major polluters upstream because that number isn't collected. based on his review of water systems throughout the country, he said it's certainly in the thousands. charlie, norah? >> that's alarming. cheryl thank you. two southwest airlines pilots who landed at the wrong airport are grounded this morning. their plane took off safely yesterday. flight 4013 from chicago was supposed to land in branson, missouri, sunday night. instead, it touched down at a much smaller air field that was seven miles away. the boeing 737 had to stop short to avoid going off the runway. no one was hurt. we're still waiting for an ntsb investigation on what exactly happened. new information this morning from the investigation that found alex rodriguez used performance-enhancing drugs. new york yankee slugger is suing major league baseball and its
7:14 am
players union over a one-year suspension. >> good morning, charlie. his lawyers filed that appeal in federal court here in manhattan. chaling the 162-game suspension handed down by the league's independent arbitrator frederick horowitz. attorneys for rodriguez claim that the arbitrator's ruling should be overturned because horowitz was biased ruling in favor of major league baseball to preserve his own job. a manifest disregard for law, acted with impartiality and refused to acknowledge evidence. completely abdicated its responsibility to protect his rights. >> we have circumstances regarding a lack of due process, a lack of fundamental fairness undue influence on the arbitrator and, most importantly, a punishment that was handed out that still is in
7:15 am
excess of anything that you could find in the joint drug agreement or collective bargaining agreement. >> as part of this latest filing, horowitz's ruling was unsealed. he found that rodriguez committed the most egregious violations of the drug agreement, and engaged in at least two attempts to cover up that behavior. rodriguez has never tested positive for banned substances. much of the league's evidence against him is contained in hundreds of incriminating blackberry messages between rodriguez and anthony bosch, the man who claims he supplied and injected rodriguez with performance-enhanceing drugs. in an interview with "60 minutes" he spoke about how he delivered it. >> most of the times we were together were after hours, midnight and 7:00 am in the morning. >> what were you doing between midnight and 7:00 am? >> less people less eyes.
7:16 am
>> less people less eyes. you could go to his place? >> absolutely. there was a lot of disguises that i had to disguise myself or i had to wear sunglasses at night or take an elevator a freight elevator instead of the normal elevator. it was challenging. >> all the legal experts we consulted said it would be unlikely that the judge would overturn the ruling but not impossible. charlie, norah? >> jim axelrod, thanks. the president of french will step in the spotlight. francois hollande at a major press conference but the proposals will likely be overshadowed by a personal scandal engulfing the presidential palace. mark phillips is in paris. mark, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, norah, charlie. for francois this morning it's very much a question of whether he wants to deal with the bad news or the bad news. the bad news of the french economy or the bad news of his alleged affair.
7:17 am
holland hollande is due to hold a press conference, annual beginning of the year here, sluggish french economy, unemployment still over 12% here. his approval ratings stuck in the low 20s, lowest ever for a french president. all the talk is of the affair his girlfriend, known here as the first girlfriend where she remains in hospital with the shock of the alleged affair, that being with the young actress that the president is alleged to have been seeing and that is julia gayet. she has remained silent. now under french law, hollande could decide to say nothing. there are very strict privacy laws here. but the story of the affair has become the story here. there are not, at this stage in terms of presidential valiances talk of impeachment involved. it is all sounding rather
7:18 am
clintonian. >> i think it was henry kissinger who said power is the ultimate after rowphrodesiac. >> proving to be so again. >> it will be interesting to see how the french press handles it today. >> they'll probably start with the economy but they'll get to this, i would assume. >> we'll be watching. >> thanks, mark. time to show you some of the headlines from around the globe. tsa found more than 1,800 guns in passenger's carry-on bags last year a 20% jump from 2012. >> not expected to file criminal charges after the irs gave extra scrutiny to conservative groups. investigators did not find proof of political buy as using names like tea party or patriot. >> "los angeles times," two former police officers in the death of a homeless man.
7:19 am
surveillance video captured the violent 2011 arrest of kelly thomas, who was schizophrenic. the fbi is reviewing the case. >> looking at anti-government protests in thailand. major intersections are blocked. critics accuse the prime minister of corruption. she says she will not step down. >> "the new york times" looks at a big offer. time warner says the $37 billion offer is far too low. charter is taking its case staying very dry and high pressure sending these temperatures up to record levels in some parts of the bay area. in fact, by the afternoon, probably see some widespread records outside. this ridge very strong and is bringing with it some strong gusty winds. >> so red flag warnings up for high fire danger in the north of the east bay hills and diablo range.

7:33 am
stunning reaction. >> first we got the match. then pam said hey, she's got a cousin who was a sperm donor. oh, my gosh she worked at the same fertility clinic that we used. >> reporter: it turns out that clinical technician tom lippert was annie's biological father. they're convinced that lippert replaced his sperm with his. >> it's a shock to find out what i thought i but i wasn't. >> reporter: lippert served time for kidnapping charge. as for his alleged fraud -- >> i think it was intentional. >>. >> reporter: she said her husband would drink and turn violent. she believes there may be other victims. >> i think if he did it once he probably did it many times. >> i figured out if he did this once a month for the nine years he was there that would be over 100 children. >> our hope is that the university would inform the

7:35 am
"costa concordia" disaster but finds more steps need to be taken reporting that a sexual and physical assault reporting is now required. and there are still delays in making crime reports public. >> what does that mean for your safety at sea? our travel editor peter greenberg is in los angeles. peter, good morning. >> good morning, charlie. this actually stems from the 2010 cruise vessel security and safety act passioned by congress. of the 15 provisions in that law, the report from the gao now stands that 11 of those provisions have actually been taken care of by the cruise lines. but as you reported there are four areas still left being done. in terms of crime reporting how is that crime being reported how quickly and how is that information disseminated to the public in a way to make an intelligent choice about the cruise ship they want to go on. >> peter, why isn't there a uniform set of basic or minimum rules about reporting these?
7:36 am
>> because in the old days it got down to where the crew ships were registered what foreign countries and which jurisdiction was handled by each department authority. the problem is the fbi gets involved here but they actually cut it down in different ways. basically there are sexual and physical assault this have to be reported by law. there's no doubt about that. but then the question is how do you define what an assault is. and also what about other crimes. even theft is not always reported because there's a dollar limit that is placed on that. which is silly if you think of the dollar limit as $10,000. what about $5,000 thefts? is it reported by cruise ship or cruise itinerary? if it's not, how do you make an informed choice about to what ship you want to go on. >> the real question is what will it change? >> the argument persists as to whether or not there's more information needed. in the wake of "costa concordia," certain things have changed.
7:37 am

there at the olympics. >> reporter: but on saturday the two-time national champ failed to nail it not once but twice. and came in a disappointing fourth. still, the selection committee gave her one of three spots anyway. icing out third place finisher mirai nagasu. >> it might be hard to realize how a fourth place finisher could get on and a third place left off. but they also consider a skater and their overall body of work. >> reporter: officials have only snubbed a national medalist from the olympic team three times before this. and each case involved injury. the president of the figure skating association explained that looking at the past year ashley wagner had the top credentials. >> the rules really allow for a bad day. or a bad skate.
7:39 am
it's not like swimming where at their olympic trials you have to have the two fastest times or you don't get to be on the team. >> reporter: as for nagasu she reportedly asked about appealing the statement, she said in a statement, though i may not agree with it i have to respect the decision. nagasu would have been the year's only olympic veteran. she'll have to wait four years to get a spot when the odds will be even tougher. for "cbs this morning," michelle miller. new york. >> that's a tough call. you take four years, work and practice and get up ever morning and go skating and then you don't have a shot. the online force has been too much for ashley wagner. she tells "people" magazine she's officially giving up social media until after the games. al qaeda is gaining ground

good morning. it is 8:00 a.m. in the west. a retired police man is charged with killing a father in a florida movie theater. they were arguing over texting. alex rodriguez files a lawsuit to overturn his suspension from baseball. and we will ask if he has a chance. and then a new vacuum break through only on cbs this morning. first on this january 14th 2014, here is a look at today's eye-opener at 8:00. a democratic congressman is questioning whether christie
8:01 am
misused funds to boost his own re-election campaign. >> and then others are accusing his political circle of taking revenge. and then a man accused of killing a man in a movie theater. >> there was an effort several years ago to try and protect the supply and unfortporfortunately that died. rodriguez was spotted in houston, while his lawyers filed an appeal challenging the suspension. and the bad news of the french economy or the bad news of his alleged affair. the family victimized of a bizarre crime. >> what was it like for you to see that you were not your daughter's biological father? >> shock.

disbelief. chris christie is expected to unveil his agenda for this year, and had he was asked about next year he said i will close that bridge when i get to it. i am charlie rose with gayle king and norah o'donnell. a retired captain is accused of shooting a man inside the theater. police say texting led to an argument. >> chad olson was killed and his wife was wounded, and olson told the suspect that he was texting his 3-year-old daughter. reese is charged this morning with second-degree murder. and a new jersey democrat said he felt the wrath of christie's inner circle and top officials cancelled a series of meetings last year after he declined to endorse christie's
8:03 am
re-election campaign. and last week the governor fired a top aide after the traffic jam. and then the relief funds for super storm sandy, that was spent on tourism commercials. they were designed to promote christie and not tourism. alex rodriguez is asking a federal court to let him play next season. the arbitrator that upheld a year-long suspension was convinced the yankee's slugger was using enhancing drugs. one says the players' union failed to defend a-rod. >> we have circumstances regarding a lack of due process and fundamental fairness and undue influence on the arbitrator and a punishment that
8:04 am
was handed out that is still in excess of anything that you find in the bargaining agreement. >> but if your judge looks at all this and says i think it was done in a fairway, you are all done? >> pretty much. that's where it seems like the line would be drawn. >> cbs news legal analyst, jack ford, is here. good morning. >> good morning. >> what is a-rod hoping to achieve? >> it's an uphill battle. the reason is when you have a collective bargaining agreement the entire purpose is to keep the courts out and create a mechanism where we can resolve it ourselves. generally courts don't want to get involved. they will on occasion -- a couple exceptions where they will get involved. one is if you claim that your union, which is supposed to be representing you because you give up your personal right to
8:05 am
sue your employer and if you claim they abandon you, and the other argument you can make to get a court interested is the whole process is fundamentally flawed, and it's not right to say this was your only chance to get this dispute resolved here. >> what do you think of those arguments? >> they are tough arguments to make. sometimes judges get involved and you need to have the facts. the union jumped out and said this is outrageous for them to claim we didn't defend him because we did everything we could, and the arbitrator is saying -- it's not enough to say i disagree there has to be more. >> is it that he wants to be reinstated or he wants hrefleverage leveraging power?
8:06 am
>> he wants some of the money back, and he wants to play baseball. they will ask the judge to issue an injunction and say stop put a hold on everything until this case plays out completely and in that matter he is opening to be able to play next year while this halt is placed while everything else is being litigated. that's the most important thing for them right now to is get him from his perspective, get him back on the field. >> i heard you say it was an uphill battle for alex rodriguez, but there seems to be a move in favor of him by people after they watch the "60 minutes" piece, saying this guy was paid by the major league organization for his security, that cash was delivered in brown paper bags, and does that hold any weight for alex rodriguez nsa in the court of public opinion, yes, but in this court,
8:07 am
no. but you are right, it feels bad. is it distasteful? yes. but the arbitrator looking at this said i am looking at other evidence to stance kwraeut it and why i am not saying they have a chance, the chance is small, but they have interesting arguments, saying paying the guy, not letting them call bud selig selig, that's something. the smithsonian institution decided two dresses are better than one. jan crawford is at the national museum of history. >> reporter: the smithsonian

8:10 am
white house and the national archives to see if we could borrow the dress for one year display. >> for one year he is replacing himself. >> the red dress will look completely in this room. >> it will. it will look so different against the gray but it will be a beautiful pop of crimson in the room. >> the shoes are by the same designer, and they were red to match the red dress. the big difference is the heel. they are about half as tall as the one she wore in the first inaugural ball so it makes you think after standing around and dancing all night four years ago, she decided to go with something more practical second time around. >> if they could just come up with a pretty clog i think all
8:11 am
women would be happy. i know that's a rule change for now, but i hope they make that permanent. we love looking at the dresses. >> yeah and people can learn about the presidential history, it's a plus. >> she must be easy to design for, she is tall and slim and ellisonel elegant elegant. >> all of the above is true. >> another january birthday for her coming up turning 50. >> is this interesting for everybody? i am a capper corn.
